Here they are:

I'd upload the images here but there is a file size limit that is annoying
Now to get some sleep to go back to work tomorrow

Really wanted to show them off and have been trying to get the server's upgrades complete and just got it to 100% (IR LED was the last part)

Looks like it all fits. I am going to use your power supply design when my chip comes in.
I just realized you had a couple different designs. Pretty creative.
From what I have read about them they can do all sorts of different things.

i did some looking at chip, i got a but sad when i saw it only had 8 GPIO logic pins
but now that i count what i am using, i only am using 8 logic and 1 OneWire
my thermostat setup is using 18 logic and 1 OneWire

if you want to copy it i used a piece of aluminum to cover the hole that was once used for the AC power plug and put a toggle switch in it
the best part is all the wires use the same hole

I just bought the chip because I figured for $10.00 it would be fun to play with.
Who knows what I will find once I get it and start playing with it.
The pi does appear to be the better of the two but I just didn't want to spend the bucks.
I use old power supply cases for all sorts of electronics stuff and also the power supplies with very little modification can run some high current electronics.
Very versatile little kit boxes.
I like your server design pretty nifty.

heating UI - though not a gif, but one of the latest Pompei movies (2014) has some nice stillshots.

although volcanoes usually don't look like that. it's a lot more smoke and a lot less lava and fireballs. ofcoruse there are exceptions.

another option would be to use some pics of Iceland volcanoes.

oh it was over a full day on getting all that in there, probably 2 to 3 days if you count changes/adjustments
